Decision in the virginia Bond Case.

WASHINGTON, March 80 The supreme
court Of the United States has decided an
other Of the Virginia bond cases, that OF
Royal against the state Of Virginia, brought
to the supreme court on an appeal from de
cision of the supreme court of appeals Of
Virginia. The court holds that this case can
not Be disfinguished from former case Of
Royal against the state and reverses the de-
cision Of the court Of appeals Of Virginia on
that authority The demurrer to the plea, it
is stated in the opinion, IS an admission Of
record that the coupon rendered in payment
Of the license was genuine, and bore on its
face the contract Of Virginia; that it should
be received in payment Of all taxes, debts
and demands due to the state. This, it is
held, shows good tender which brings this
case within the rulings Of the court in the
former case The decision remands the
cause with directions to allow the writ OF
error, and to proceed hereafter as Justice
may require, If not inconsistent with this
opinion.

many ways, by contract designating an
other beneficiary, as, for instance, II meme

AFFAIRS. AT WASHINGTON.
THE STEPS TAKEN. TOWARD REBUILD
ING OUR NAVY.

A Mass of Information to BE Submitted to
the Bureau Of Naval Intelligence-De-
cision OF the Supreme Court-Presiden-
tial Appointments-Other Items.
WASHINGTON, March 90 Chief Con-
Etructor Wilson, who = now ct Chester in
speeding the cruiser, Chicago, Il expected to
return to the city tomorrow to give formal
instructions to the board appointed to con-
slider and report upon the additional machin-
cry and plant necessary to enable the de-
partment to undertake the construction, at
the Brooklyn navy yard, Of one Of the new
six thousand ton vessels authorized to be
built The board is composed Of Naval Con-
structor Cook and Assistant Constructors
Hoover and Wilson. The bureau Of naval
intelligence has collected mass of informa-
tion that win be submitted to the board rela-
tive to the latest discoveries in naval con-
struction, and, in addition, there will be
placed before it the result of Constructor
Hibborn's close inquiries into the plant and
appliances used in the largest European dock
yards.
Some Of their devices are understood to be
of great value and are as yet practically UNI
known to the shipwrights Of America. The
navy department is still prosecuting the in
quiries begun some time ago relative to the
ability Of the railways and canal Of the
country to transport boats and naval ma
terial from the sea to inland waters. It has
been learned that the facilities Of the exist
ing railroads are limited, to the ability to
transport boats Of an extreme length OF no
feet, while the Erie canal will permit the
passage from the Atlantic ocean to the
lakes OF torpedo boats one hundred feet in
length. AS the tor edo craft necessary for
the defense Of the lake ports are not required
to be as seaworthy and as large as those in
tended for the protection of the sea coast, it
Is believed that the existing facilities are
ample. The fact that these inquiries by the
department. were begun more than q year
ago isregarded by naval officers as sufi-
cient answer to any inference that might be
drawn to the effect that they indicate pre-
parations for q struggle growing out Of the
fisheries dispute. 4ss.s Il
